Cougars exact revenge on Munising

March 3, 2012

MUNISING - Revenge was still sweet, if not unexpected, for Superior Central on Friday night in the Class D girls basketball district tournament held in Munising.

The Cougars, ranked No. 3 in the final girls Upper Peninsula poll this week, ran away from the host Mustangs 50-28 to capture the district championship and advance to regional play in Kingsford Tuesday.

SC (20-2) took a 21-9 halftime lead and doubled that in the third quarter to go up 42-18 entering the final period.

"The girls have been waiting a year for this," Cougars coach Greg Trowbridge said. "They were disappointed last year when we blew a 14-point lead in the district finals and lost to Munising.

"The girls played a pretty good ball game. And you've got to give Munising credit - they played a lot better than the first two times we played them."
